An XBox Platformers Thread

[TamagotchiTamaHero24's iconTamagotchiTamaHero24]

Welcome to the thread for the odd, strange, and funky. XBox’s platformer, and platformer adjacent games are one of the most underloved titles from the past two decades and that needs to change, especially as we move to being more open to the vastness of titles that exist in this industry. From Blinx to Voodoo Vince. From Psychonauts to Super Lucky’s Tale. From Ori to (some people forget) Cuphead. This thread is for all of the above AND MORE with the focus of celebrating what makes them beautiful in spite of Microsoft’s ABYSMAL handling of their IP and hardware. No matter what the future holds, we had a good time with all of these games, and this is a thread for sharing those good times.

Let’s talk about the platformers that make other platforms green with envy!
(Until Microsoft ports them to other consoles because :/ )

I've always had a soft spot for Malice. It's not great, however I've played through it multiple times over the years. The Xbox version is a lot better than the PS2 version, too, likely because it was supposed to be an Xbox exclusive at one point. That said, it looked nowhere near as good as what was promised early on:

There's also a prototype out there that still has some Gwen Stefani voice acting in it before she was removed from the game.
